Free will/evil/punishment

RE: Free will/evil/punishment
(June 15, 2015 at 10:31 am)Rhythm Wrote: @Nestor, you asserted that the person in the scenario acted freely, you did not demonstrate it.  Compliance with the will doesn't tell us that our decisions are freely made -regardless- of whether or not will is automated..or some-something is at the wheel.   That we make considerations of options available is unimpressive.  So does a comparator, and nothing need be at that wheel either. I don't know, personally, whether we have one of these free will things - but neither of those two things would imply or demonstrate that whatever will we have is free, or that a course of action is freely taken.
The choice is in the freedom or luxury to delineate and weigh outcomes before they occur, and then to act without hindrance in accordance with the preference that agrees with your character or will.
